I have two French Bulldogs, Hugo and Lestat. They are my best friends and constant companions. My pups give so much love to me, I like to return the favor by making them homemade treats. These treats are fabulous because they contain only wholesome ingredients - no chemicals. Hugo and Lestat can be picky eaters, (they have a few allergies as well), so with these recipes, I'm always aware of exactly what they're eating.

I'm not gonna lie, I've tried all of these. With a little extra seasoning, you can snack on them, too!

Kale Cookies

Kale is as healthy for our four-legged friends as it is for us. Mix it up with spinach, broccoli or parsley - a great antidote for doggie breath.

Banana and Oat Break-Off Sticks

These are great, as you simply break off custom-size pieces to give your dog. My dainty bulldogs take theirs pretty small.
